all the problems, social and midas

all kinds, for he thinks it is not the
part OF government to make men

ANOTHER FRAUD.

"Hunter and skin buyer. Send for
price list of raw furs, alligator
bides, plumes, birds aud water fowl
skins, to w. Gouldspee, 80 Haven
bin ST., Boston, Mass"
Tie order sounding to us rather
reckless OF cost, we demanded the
cash in advance, aud that was the
last OF it. We see, however, that
the advertisement appears in ser.
eral Coast papers, for whom We
have a sweet morsel OF news. One
of Our merchants seeing these ads.
got Gouldspee's price list, which he
found Ton paperl just little better
than other quotations, aud, BY way
OF experiment, made him a small
shipment. After waiting a reason
ble time for returns he wrote Gould
spec several letters, but could hear
nothing from him. He then insti-
inted, through the postofice, in
luiry as TO delivery. 1t was some
line before the fellow could be
ound.
A few days ago the following was
eceived at Scranton postOfice from
be postmaster at Boston: "Gould.
